Romance of a Hat Mark.

Philip Northam, coming hastily out OF
Exchange Building one morning in jam
AIRY, slipped on some ice at the top of the
marble steps and slid rapidly 10 the bottom.
On his way, however lac encountered gem
tlcman who was leisurcly descending before
him, whipped him hrisl,ly from his feet and
brought him down hy his side Ia the pave
mcnt below. This unexpected introduction
was accompanied by II prompt removal of
their respective hats. Philips rolled down
Ia the curbstone, and the strangers whirlet
along the pavement Ia be stopped and re-
turned by IN opportune bootblack. Fortu-
nately no bodily damage was done TO either
of the embarrassed young men, who instant
ly picked themselves up, with mutually un-
necessary apologies, Philip, perhaps, had
some raison d'ctrc, rs lac had been the az
grcssive party, but the same haste Ia catch
train that had occasioned the rendering OF
the apology made il naturally very brief.
lie barely took time Ia assure himself that
his fellow-voyager Ia the sidewalk was not
hurt, then clapped his hat on his head and
IuSllt1l onward Wllll the Sllil' Nl''''
fcatcd itself few seconds previous
We state that Philip clapncd his hat ON
his head, but the truth is he clapped on a
hat in every way resembling il, yet rs un'
like il Ms n hat that we have never worn IL
unlike the hat of our everyday wear Philip
had not gone block when he realized that
he had made "A mistake, and exchanged hats
with the stranger, whom he had otherwise
incommoded 10y hurting him down stairs.
1t would seem that Destiny had been gra-
tuitously unkind through Philips unmeant
agency To this unotiensive wayfarer, and
for no apparent reason but her own wilful
fancy. However il would probably be
useless 10 return t6 the scene OF their rem
contre, even if Philip had had time. So he
contented himself with examining the hat
as he sped up by the Elevated To his train
at Forty street, and was glad To find
in il hat mark the initials W. W. { 4,
neatly embroidered on band of dark gar
net silk and ornamented with sprays of
toss-silk vine. No one had ever embroi-

ful owner Of the misappropriated head-cov-
cring became at once in vested with n sort
of romance in Philips mind. The hat Of
itself was anything but romatic, being one
of those hard, stiff DcrbieS, that seem 10
have been invented for no other purpose
than To counteract any possible good looks
on ,thc part of the owner. "W. w. C."
Philip pondered not a little over these ca
balistic signs of feminine care and interest ;
he examined them 50 closely, indeed, that,
after the manner of ardent explorers, he
made an unlookcd-for discovery. Under the
little Silkcn band was tucked firmly slip
of folded paper. Thinking il might contain
perhaps the full complement of the initials,
Philip opened and read il. \ great flush
passed over his face, ana his heart quicken

written these words, in delicately femin.

Fres Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefited the consumers, as
well as relieving the burden of home
manufacturers. Especially is this the
case with GREEN'S august Flo,oer and Bos-
ctee's German Syr1tp, as the reduction of
thirty-six centsper dozen, has been add
ed to increase the size of the bottles
containing these remedies, thereby Civ
ing one-fifth more medicine in the IS
cent size. The august FlOsCer for Dys-
pepsia and Liver Complaint, and the
German Syrup for Cough and Lung
troubles, have perhaps, the largest sale
of any medicines in the world. The
advantage of increased size of the bot
ties will be greatly appreciated by the
sick and afflicted, in every town and
village in civilized countries. Sample
bottles for 10 cents remain the same
size.

From Across the Atlantic.

Our Consul, Mr.. Lee, at Frankfort.
Germany, in his recent report recon-
mended the establishment of manual
training schools for culinary purpose.
whereby he hopes to lessen the common
sickness of dyspepsia and nervousness
so prevalent throughout this country,
by teaching our future wives and
mothers how to prepare wholesome and
digestibie food. He even further claims
the alarming and increasing cases of
divorces, many of them to originate
from the above cause. His timely and
well directed advice should be consjd-
cred. But as such institutions cannot
be created at once, nor any direct result
from it be expected for years, all afflict-
ed with dyspepsia and nervousness
should, without fail, use PHOSPHATE
LEMON RYE, the positive remedy fol-
such. 1t will restore you to perfect
health, bring happiness to your family
and may save you from disgrace and a
future life Of misery. AT all drug
stores.
